Why does the client care which filesystem you use???

• jeremysmyth 8y ago
  Different supported features make it easier to maintain such a client. Example: Some filesystems notify observers on file change, some don't.

    This shouldn't affect other local filesystems though. Inotify won't work with NFS, but should be ok with fs owned by the local system.

      The mistake is assuming that there's something special about 'local' filesystems. They have as much feature disparity as networked ones.
